and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life piecing together patients shattered bones and in many cases their shattered lives with the main goal when professing designed his first brain using bicycle parts sixty years later his invention is increasingly being used to help people who are eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same six thing somebody is live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted. nowadays seeking surgery. most of them a man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novikov who operated on many of them sas it usually comes down to man's pride. the first patient to turn to us with a leg length in the request to meet his fifteen centimeters to want to surgery because panos to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order
2:31 pm
to fix this it may be nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lowest fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries abound in many countries and even the out there pretty expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others in america average is one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users wanted to be average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be short and it's not a big deal here guy is like expected to be just before the operation most this matter. russian girl who found he's
2:32 pm
a regional hide quite in dealing yet he still want to have a day surgery adding seven more centimeters to his self-confidence she told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. and hours ago you thought what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. and a very warm welcome to business r.t. with me to meet him at a diner now what investors have been watching these weeks are of course the u.s. presidential elections just a few days left until the vote mitt romney is obviously busy trying to persuade the american people that he should be the next president and in the meantime his son is in moscow this week the capital of what mitt said is the number one geopolitical
2:33 pm
foe of the u.s. and matters here to convince rich russians to invest in his company all right let's get more details from katie pilbeam from our business desk so katie it's not like father like son after all for the romney family when it comes to relations with russia that well you would think that is a well having looked into it we can see that mitt himself is actually invested rather heavily into the russian economy even in the last year or so he had seen as an energy major gas prong also invested heavily in the largest search engine yandex as well and he cut short these investments they both lost approximately six months and he got rid of them just before the presidential election campaign kicked off all right so did he sell them at a profit or loss a loss a loss what well i mean mitt romney is known to be well a distinguished businessman why would he sell at a loss what exactly i i mean as. they just before the presidential election
2:34 pm
campaign he was saying these are all the hawkish comments he mentions one yourself about the geopolitical foe he's also been saying that president obama has been too soft on russia while he's been coming out with these infamous rather bold statements the whole time he's been investing in russia i think he obviously called on to the fact that hold on this isn't going to look good so we got rid of them just before the election campaign kicked off and that's from mitt romney who in two thousand and seven actually said that his family's business will coincide with his political views and that seems like a very kind of cheeky approach so let's go down to his son match romney now why exactly was he in moscow again yeah well he's got his own business actually it's a real estate company xcel trust at the moment it's just based in california in the u.s. it's a domestic company but they are looking to seek international aid right now hence the reason why they are in russia and as i say they are here to get some cash and the interesting thing is we don't actually know if his dad knows he's here because
2:35 pm
as far as the embassy is concerned in washington the russian embassy they said that they haven't been informed about his visit and they they were none the wiser about that seems like a whole set of surprises to me but i mean is there a political context visit to well again there's been conflicting reports because we have heard that while matt has been here he's almost levered on his dance behalf because he's told some of putin's aides look should my dad with the election then all that he said wouldn't necessarily come true and you would have good relations all right there was seems like a very kind of two sided approach then to business and politics and one family i mean is that a candidate to be trusted if he's if he's elected president well that remains to be to be found out after after the election of course thank you very much kitty pilgrim for that. well that's moved over to the markets and of course to the u.s. markets they're the only ones trading right now they are actually down at this hour
2:36 pm
that's despite a better than expected jobs report for which showed the unemployment rate uptick to seven point nine percent but of course the one hundred seventy thousand more jobs were created and that was better than expected still the seven point nine percent is lower than the crucial eight percent bargain employment that has been mentioned so many times in the presidential debate now the markets ended the session positive all in all the week sort of footsie game one point one percent apparently the markets closed before investors in the united states started again calculating all the potential risks the impact from superstorm sandy and other factors but when it comes to the currency markets the dollar is showing a remarkable gains at this hour one hundred seven points to the year after these jobs numbers indicating that slowly but steadily the u.s. economy is recovering the ruble however lost a lot of value to the dollar logically enough and some to the year now in russia
2:37 pm
the markets close on a positive note three sessions in a row of growth overall the week as well positive however trading today volumes were weak investors avoided any major moves ahead of a three day holiday on monday there will be no trading on the corporate side gas problems net profit plunged by a third in the first half of the year results was mainly due to of failing demand and falling demand in the debt stricken europe gas monopoly also wrote off for over four billion dollars in back dated discounts to its e.u. partners however gazprom shares finished better than the market and also pharmaceuticals were in the spotlight pharmacy chain thirty six point six rocketed on the news the company will sell controlling stake in drug maker verify arm which also advanced a lot more than ten percent of these of course very thinly traded stocks. writes russia's e.s.p.
2:38 pm
oil blend could join breads and west texas crude as the global benchmark for the oil market there is however one major problem russia needs to pump more e.s.p. to make it a viable candidate writes artie's tom barton has been looking at the story for us he's just back from his trip to the oil rich region of the amount russia's far north for good to see it's almost you've enjoyed that trip not to call them so what needs to be done exactly for e.s.p.n. to become on par with w t o and brant. hi there dimitri it was a bit chilly but hopefully the russians oil for fortunes might be quite a bit more hotting up than the cold temperatures up in the north yes if we're looking at e.s.p.n. east siberian pacific ocean so we're looking at asia pacific markets here and the potential for e.s.p.n. to join west texas intermediate and brant is one of those top rank very well known markers of of global oil fortunes and prices so e.s.p.n.
2:39 pm
at the moment its biggest challenges to overcome before it can join those others on the top rank as it were is surely to get enough of it being pumped hungry markets are in asia pacific they want to oil china's tripled its oil orders of this kind of good quality oil lately however there needs to be infrastructure there needs to be investment at the moment brant and w.t. i have greater volumes and investment going into them but they have problems of their own w.t. i prices falling at the moment diverging from brant prices for brant also facing shortages the simply less of it these days and it's not going to be more of it coming about so if we can get up to five hundred thousand barrels being pumped instead of four hundred thousand at the moment if that extra amount of oil can get there we could see e.s.p.n. really starting to change the face of the world energy market by the way you say tom it seems like there is
2:40 pm
a problem when it comes to boosting the production and pumping of oil maybe even to problems. there is indeed yet it's not just as simple as snapping your fingers and making it happen firstly yes the asia pacific markets are there but the chinese are notoriously hard negotiators when it comes to energy prices and there have been price arguments with china that will need to be resolved before these very large volumes can start crossing the border out from siberia the other problem as i saw for myself when i was up in the russian far north itself starting to try and develop or oil fields up there is that the sheer technical problems involved huge distances have to be crossed a lot of the territory there is blasted hard into permafrost in winter and then sinks into swamps in the summer very advanced engineering needs to be used to get the pipelines let alone the rigs working up there at full capacity that will all
2:41 pm
need to be overcome but it is starting that process is happening things are being built out in the tundra and who knows by two thousand and fifteen it's pretty predicted possibly it could make it up there. thank you so much maybe we can actually watch that report of yours then. hopefully so. russian east siberian oil could become by two thousand and fifteen a world benchmark product alongside the brant and w t r e standards that oil is coming from east of the urals and being shipped out to hungry asian pacific markets and it's companies like trans net that are doing it they're also working here in the russian from north driving the piles deep into the permafrost to try and get oil from new fields up here in the russian far north but technical challenges are immense with this territory for use and hard in winter and turning into
2:42 pm
a bog swamps in summer but if enough oil can be moved from the fields up here and in the east siberian fields then russian oil could become a genuinely world benchmark products. and i was tom reporting from the mouth peninsula staying with new commodity benchmarks the st petersburg commodity exchange could soon allow investors to speculate on chicken eggs prices the people organizing the exchange say it's intended to smooth out egg prices during the year by providing regulation of the market this could prove tricky as there's no seasonal difference in how many eggs chickens lay but season variations in consumption as long as you have the choice then that's one of the potential instruments that you could be using on the so you could have a good change all right that's it from business for now our brand new investigative shows coming up the truth seeker with daniel bushell after a short. culture
2:43 pm
